2007 Rolex Submariner Date 16610LV Black Mk V Dial Kermit - $14,989
Stand out from the crowd with one of the most recognizable and collectible modern Rolex sports watches: the Rolex Submariner Date “Kermit,” reference 16610LV. Introduced in 2003 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Submariner, the Kermit marked a significant departure from tradition as the first standard-production Submariner to feature a green bezel insert, paired with the now-iconic Maxi Dial with larger luminous hour markers and hands. These distinctive features have made the reference a favorite among collectors and enthusiasts alike. This preowned example features an M serial, dating case production to approximately 2007, and retains many of the characteristics sought after by collectors, including its original Mark V dial, original B5 green bezel insert, and original no-holes (“trou borgne”) case with engraved rehaut. The watch features a 40mm stainless steel case surrounding a black dial and is fitted to its original Rolex 93250 Oyster bracelet. Functions include hours, minutes, central seconds, and a date display. The case remains thick and well-preserved, showing only light superficial wear consistent with careful use. The original green bezel insert exhibits minor surface scratching and a small crack to the luminous pearl. The bracelet features a PJ5 clasp code (May 2008), retains all 12.5 links and the dive extension, and displays a sharp coronet on the clasp. It remains in honest, well-cared-for condition with no stretch. Included with the watch are its original Rolex outer box, green leather inner box, Rolex Oyster booklet, red hang tag, green hang tag, and Rolex International Guarantee Card dated October 2009.
